I read this post on a well known news site regarding yesterdays dog attack and want to know what you guys think?
"....this was a savage attack on a defenceless child by a savage dog that needed a bullet....It's sad pathetic animal lovers like yourself who restrict my rights of bringing my children up in a dogless society.... I dont want dogs around me or my children...if you love animals go and live on the serengeti."
This was in response to a comment that the media should not hype this out of proportion and that some dog owners are not representative of all dog owners.
What do you think? I am not condoning what happened nor am I defending the irresponsible (was thinking of a much worse description) owners who let this happen. But, I worry as a dog owner that media coverage and narrow minded opinions may prompt irrational action against all dog owners. Or is drastic action the way forward?
